| Targets |
Ethacridine lactate exerts its primary antimicrobial effect by intercalating into bacterial DNA. This interaction disrupts critical cellular processes, ultimately leading to bacteriostasis. The compound binds to DNA, inhibiting the ability of bacteria to synthesize DNA and RNA, thereby inhibiting microbial protein synthesis. It is effective against Staphylococcus aureus, including MRSA strains.

| ln Vitro |
Acrinol exhibits antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, including MRSA, with a MIC range of 100-200 μg/mL. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Acrinol for E. Coli is 200–800 μg/mL, while the MIC surpasses 1,600 μg/mL for Proteus vulgaris and Proteus mirabilis[3].
Ethacridine lactate demonstrates antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and other Gram-positive cocci. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against Staphylococcus aureus, including MRSA, ranges from 100-200 μg/mL. Against E. coli, the MIC ranges from 200-800 μg/mL. It also functions as a PARG inhibitor, a property that is utilized in research applications. |
| ln Vivo |
Pregnancy can be ended with ethacridine lactate [1].
Ethacridine lactate is used in vivo as an antiseptic and abortifacient. As a topical antiseptic, it is applied to wounds and skin infections to prevent or treat bacterial infections. As an abortifacient, it is used for the induction of mid-trimester abortions. Its efficacy is based on its antimicrobial activity and its ability to stimulate uterine contractions. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cellular assays for ethacridine lactate involve assessing its DNA intercalation properties. The compound's binding to DNA can be studied using spectrophotometric methods, such as measuring changes in the absorption spectrum of the compound upon addition of DNA. PARG inhibition can be assessed using purified PARG enzyme in a cell-free system, where the hydrolysis of poly(ADP-ribose) is measured in the presence of varying concentrations of the compound.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for ethacridine lactate involve treating bacterial cultures with the compound and assessing growth inhibition. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is determined by broth microdilution according to CLSI guidelines. For PARG inhibition studies, cells are treated with the compound and PAR (poly(ADP-ribose) levels are measured by Western blotting or immunofluorescence to assess the inhibition of PAR degradation.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments with ethacridine lactate are primarily conducted for toxicological assessment rather than efficacy studies, as it is a well-established drug. In preclinical models, it would be administered via appropriate routes (topical, intra-amniotic) to evaluate its safety and potential side effects. For research on its PARG inhibitory activity, animal models of disease where PARG plays a role may be used.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Ethacridine lactate monohydrate has a molecular weight of 361.35 and a molecular formula of C₁₅H₁₅N₃O·C₃H₆O₃·H₂O. It is a yellow crystalline powder with a purity of ≥98%. The compound is soluble in water and is typically stored at room temperature in a dry, dark place. It is stable under recommended storage conditions.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Ethacridine lactate is generally well-tolerated when used topically as an antiseptic. Systemic toxicity is low due to limited absorption. However, as with any drug, allergic reactions may occur. When used as an abortifacient, it can cause uterine bleeding and other complications. Standard safety precautions should be followed when handling the compound.

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.92 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
